In Part I of our series, "Firefighters are Community Helpers and Friends," we shared the video that we took while at the "Fill the Fire Truck" Cereal Drive in Little Rock.

Molly the Fire Safety Dog Headed to Dallas!

As you may recall, we shared information about a very special young man, Hector Montoya, from the Dallas area, awhile back (http://www.firesafetyrocks.com/2014/04/smoke-alarms-for-hector.html)

Instead of buying himself something for his birthday, Hector wanted to buy smoke alarms to help keep children in his area safe.

Tomorrow we leave for Dallas to see Hector, and we are so very excited!

These are the events that we have planned with Hector. What is super cool about all of this, is that Hector wanted us to visit two schools to share our fire safety program. Guess what? Hector is going to help too!

I'm Headed to New York City!!!

The other day we thought our dream of going to NYC to help share fire safety at the Paws for Style event were dashed and this morning we received the most wonderful gift! 

Thanks to an anonymous donor, we received the amount that we needed to participate in the event! Please join me in thanking them. This means SO MUCH to us in that we will be able to reach so many people with the fire safety message! Now begins the next part of our trip: raising funding for our expenses (hotel, food and gas). If you would like to help (no amount is to big or too small), please go to http://www.keepkidsfiresafe.org. Your donation is 100% tax deductible. I would be forever grateful! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, anonymous donor!
